इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि नारदासितसंवादे पञ्चसप्तत्यधिकद्वधिशततमो<5ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi nāradāsitasaṃvāde pañcasaptatyadhikadvaiśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein du Śānti Parvan—plus précisément dans la section Mokṣa-dharma—s’achève le dialogue entre Nārada et Asita, clôturant le deux-cent-soixante-quinzième chapitre. Ce colophon final inscrit l’enseignement dans l’instruction éthique et libératrice du Mahābhārata, en le situant dans la tradition de guidance vers la paix, la maîtrise de soi et la liberté spirituelle.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the preceding instruction belongs to the Mokṣa-dharma teachings within Śānti Parvan, emphasizing the Mahābhārata’s role as a guide toward peace (śānti), ethical living (dharma), and liberation (mokṣa).
The text formally closes a chapter, stating that the Nārada–Asita dialogue has concluded here and identifying its placement within Śānti Parvan’s Mokṣa-dharma section.
